re: Residents Blast Mitch Landrieu today in special meeting

Offended? Of course not. I don't care about slavery or states' rights or anything they were fighting for. The fact is they were traitors and they fought against the United States. They shouldn't be honored with statues in our streets.

---

As unpopular as it is, I agree with this as well. I consider myself an American first so I don't support those who were fighting against the US.

With that said, I have never once heard anyone make a big deal over the monuments, but then all of a sudden it becomes an issue. That's what I have a problem with. Its obvious Landrieu has his own agenda and while he is trying to benefit from doing this, he is dividing the city.

Love him or hate him, he is a good politician so he is aware of what actions will hurt or help him... In the end, he will end up being the only person who really gains something by doing this.. A smart politician will use the power he/she has to do things that will benefit them once they are no longer able to have the position they are in.

And still mayor of one of the greatest cities in the country.

But Mitch said all the talent has migrated away so it can't be one of the greatest by his standards

And still mayor of one of the greatest cities in the country.

New Orleans has faltered greatly under the failed leadership of Mitch Landrieu. Crime, depleted police force, the city is broke financially, deteriorating infrastructure and, for the first time Post-Katrina, more people moved away from the city than moved in.

So, you're a fricking idiot, as usual.

Nice idiotic sixth grade personal attack. I would expect nothing less from you.

You deserve nothing better.

Love how you didn't address the substance of my post, only cried because I called out your idiocy.

Your melt is glorious

---

No melt here, just disdain and pity. I'm free and clear from that shithole and shitbird mayor.

quote:

here's one right here. That's just for starters. The 12 best lines from Mitch Landrieu 's remarkable speech on race And another Mitch Landrieu reminds us that eloquence still exists And another Mitch Landrieu speech on race history that we all need to hear And he scheduled to go on Meet the Press

---

Joseph Goebbels received rave reviews for his comments on burning and banning books about history, authors that wrote about history, etc. Landrieu is in the proper company, it seems.

quote:

---

However my point of New Orleans being one of the greatest cities in the country still stands.

---

I suppose it would take a lot of work to come up with a list of points that we could agree on to measure this but by my standards NOLA proper is faaaar from a great city.

And still getting a national platform

---

And that platform will quickly disappear once people realize what an empty suit he is that has no accomplishments as Mayor besides a red herring in the statue removal.

He's never truly succeeded anywhere in the public and private sectors and the only reason he isn't in the poorhouse right now is because he was born in the right family.

History is written by the victors. The Civil War, was a culmination of events that started in 1824. The southern states were large consumers of manufactured goods, and producers of raw goods. The north wanted to force the south to purchase their goods at higher prices, rather than import the same goods from Great Britain and Europe for a lower price. Having a numerical advantage in congress, they began passing oppressive tariffs on imported goods that the south needed. They also raised the tariffs on any exported goods the south tried to sell to Europe, therefore forcing the south to sell their goods to the north at lower prices. By the 1840's, 65% of all federal tariff revenue came from the southern states. This further enriched the north, while bankrupting the already less wealthy south. In 1861, at the outbreak of war, the South was paying 86% of all federal tariff revenue. This was unsustainable for the southern states. Oppressive taxation, without representation was the cause of the civil war. Sounds oddly familiar to our war of independence of 1776. In 1861, the act of succession was protected in the constitution as a counterbalance to a overreaching central government. Lincoln could not lose his "cash cow" southern states. The north and federal government had grown extremely wealthy off of the backs of Dixie. This war was never about slavery. Only 1.5% of the entire Southern population owned slaves, and some of those were black as well. The emancipation proclamation wasn't signed until 1863, 2 years into the war. It was only done, to prevent Great Britain and France from entering the war on the side of the south. Lincoln also said that he would allow slavery in the south, if it would save the union. It only freed slaves in the south, while the northern states still retained their slaves. Black and white fought for the confederacy. Unlike the northern black regiments, that were segregated and paid less, black confederate soldiers received the same pay as their white counterparts. The units were also mostly integrated as well. After the war, Lincoln had plans to ship all of the blacks back to Africa to the newly established nation of Liberia. There is so much more to this story. Sadly, no one cares anymore about the truth, just what is politically expedient. "Sic semper tyrannis"?

You are wrong with New Orleans losing population for the first time since Katrina. NOLA actually grew by 2000 from 2015 to 2016

---

Which is why you are a fricking idiot. I didn't say the population decreased, I said more people leaving than moving in.

quote:

---

Babies born here -- not people moving in -- are propelling the growth. In fact, those moving away from New Orleans outpaced those moving in from elsewhere for the first time since the storm.

Stupid frick.

any history needs to be taken down its the lie that Lincoln was the greatest president of all.

Lincoln was the most tyrannical fascist warmonger we ever had in office.
